Dan Wallace: Wild Set to Spoil LCA Party

The noticeable absence for Detroit will be Andrew Athanasiou, who is in a contract dispute.

Who?

The Wings are coming off their first non-playoff season since the 1989-90 season. It was a great run, one that saw them hoist the Stanley Cup three times during that stretch

3 times?

3 times?

I work for a very reasonable rate

Guess we should have known Bettman wasn't going to allow the Wings and their fans a let down in their brand new arena home opener! What a joke!
Btw, nice dive Zetter

Well, I guess Dumba didn't work on his defense during the off-season.

Calm down, nut bag. Quit with your conspiracy theories. Wild just suck apparently. That or the Wings actually have a bit of talent.

Seriously... ?? Dude... just man-up and admit the Wild got outplayed in every aspect of the game on this night. It happens. Next week the Wings will probably suck again.

"Oh look", the liberal doosh that can't quite seem to cut through the satirical context of a blog post and immediately come to more hate judgment based on his political ideology.

Enjoy another 7 years! LOL

Wild did not get out played in every aspect. Not sure how you came to that conclusion. They did play poorly on the defensive side of the puck, but the 2 goals called back could have easily changed the complexion of the game had one or both of them counted. Either way, both could have just as easily counted. Foligno was crossed checked into howard on the first play and Granlund was interfered with in front of the crease forcing him into Howard during Suter's goal.

In the end yes the Wild were out played, but taking goals off the board in a tight game is always going to make a huge difference.
